Briana Renee Fears for Her Life, Claims Ex Now Carries a Gun
Although Briana Renee’s divorce is so acrimonious that she left Little Women: L.A. to keep the court battle from spilling onto people’s television screens, we’re still learning unpleasant details.
According to court documents, Briana is still in fear of her disreputable ex.
And she says that she has good reason to — as he has allegedly taken to carrying a gun with him.
RadarOnline reports that, in a supplemental declaration filed last week, Briana admits that she is alarmed by and afraid of Matt Grundhoffer’s gun-toting.
There is more to it than that he apparently carries a gun.
She says that he has aimed that gun at himself. Given that she accuses him of having threatened to “kill everyone” in the house, himself included, this is very seriously.
Specifically, Briana says that he “pretends to aim and look down the barrel of the gun.”
The court document alleges that Matt will do this, “and state, ‘I am not afraid of anyone.’”
That declaration was filed on July 27.
The two were scheduled to appear in Riverside County Superior Court on Wednesday, Aug. 1, 2018.
That appearance was for a hearing on a permanent restraining order against Matt.
Records also show that they are both required to return to court for a mandatory settlement conference for their divorce.
For a split that started off being described as “amicable,” this has become everything but.
Long before Matt was ever allegedly carrying a gun, Briana says, she had reason to fear him.
She has accused him of verbal and physical abuse, which she says took place during his drinking binges.
“In August 2017,” Briana accuses in court documents. “Respondent (Grundhoffer) threatened to break down our bedroom door while I had it locked it in fear of him.”
Terrifying.
Briana’s accusation continues: “He stated, ‘I am going to break down this f–king door!”
She has also accused him of punching walls.
The allegations against Matt extend beyond verbal and physical abuse — though those alone are more than enough cause for alarm.
Briana accuses her ex of exchanging messages involving bestiality and talk of an illegal sex act upon minor children, including Matt’s own 12-year-old son from a previous relationship.
These alleged sexually explicit messages are too disturbing to joke about.
Needless to say, the mentioning of Matt’s own son in these alleged conversations is the most disturbing. Sick fantasies are one thing, but that’s too close to home.
This all becomes more alarming when you look at a real-world accusation that has been leveled against Matt.
In June, Grundhoffer was accused of having sexually assaulted a minor in 2009.
The alleged victim was a patient of his at the Child Study and Treatment Center in the state of Washington, where he worked as a counselor.
The suit is aimed at State of Washington, the Department of Social and Health Services, and the Child Study and Treatment Center.
Though Grundhoffer is not being sued, the accusation that he carried out the alleged sexual assault may become relevant as Briana seeks a permanent restraining order.
For that matter, it may become relevant to their divorce.

Briana Renee: I"m No Longer a Little Woman of Los Angeles!
Briana Renee is done with reality TV.
At least for now.
According to Radar Online, the Little Women: LA cast member will not return for season seven of this Lifetime series, turning down a contract offer that had reportedly been placed on her table.
In an unusual turn of events – for someone who has aired her dirty laundry in front of a camera for years – insiders say Renee is leaving the series because she yearns for a bit of privacy.
Specifically, she doesn’t want her ongoing divorce drama to play out for an audience.
And what a drama it is!
Back in November, Renee and Matt Grundhoffer announced they had split, not long after the latter admitted to having cheated on his wife.
At the time, this split seemed amicable.
Just consider Brianna’s quote at the time:
“We rode til the wheels fell off, and now we can redirect our course as friends focusing on being the best parents.”
The former couple is parents to an 18-month old son, while each also has children from previous relationships.
Fast forward to early January, however, and the concept of amicable was thrown out the window.
Like, WAY out the window.
In her divorce documents, Renee asks Grundhoffer for child and spousal support, which is reasonable and normal.
But TMZ also confirmed at the time that Renee filed for a restraining order in December because she alleges her husband verbally abused her at least twice in November, referring to her a “cunt” and a “worthless bitch.”
Yikes.
These same documents state that Grundhoffer threatened to take the couple’s son, Maverick, away from his mother.
Wait, however, there’s more…
Briana accuses Matt of often being drunk, mean and violent.
She relays a story in her filing from April of 2017, during which Grundhoffer supposedly threatened to “kill everyone in the house” and also talked openly about killing himself.
And Renee also says she found extremely disturbing exchanges between Grundhoffer and another woman, presumably his mistress.
These exchanges were “sexually explicit and disturbing,” Briana writes, and allegedly “involved bestiality and proposals of sex acts with minor children, including the proposal of sex acts with Matthew’s minor child, age 12, from a previous relationship.”
None of that is even worth joking about.
Shortly after Renee confirmed she was breaking up with Grundhoffer, a transgender model came out and referred to the twosome’s relationship as the “most dysfunctional ever.”
So it definitely seems like it’s for the best they are going their separate ways.
As for the future of Little Women: LA?
Radar reports that producers are not looking to replace Renee and that been in production on season seven has actually been going on for months without her.
Let’s hope, for the sake of her children, that everything works out as well as can be between Renee and Grundhoffer.

Briana Renee Accuses Estranged Husband of Verbal Assault, Bestiality
Things have escalated quickly between Briana Renee and Matt Grundhoffer.
It’s pretty safe to say these former lovers won’t be exchanging Christmas cards a year from now.
Back on November 10, the Little Women: LA star announced on Instagram that she was leaving Grundhoffer, but she didn’t sound too bitter about the split.
“After 3 years, and bringing the most handsome little boy into this world, we have come to the end of our marriage,” wrote Renee online, adding:
‘We rode til the wheels fell off, and now I’m only focusing on being the best mama.”
Granted, Grundhoffer had admitted to cheating on Renee, so there was clearly tension between the former spouses.
But it still appeared as if the focus would be on an amicable break-up in order to guarantee the very best for the ex-couple’s young son.
But the reality star’s divorce documents have now leaked online and they paint Grundhoffer in some VERY disturbing light.
For starters, Briana is seeking child and spousal support from Grundhoffer.
That’s not unusual, however.
TMZ also reports that she filed for a restraining order last month because she claims Grundhoffer verbally abused her at least twice in November, referring to her a “cuntt” and a “worthless bitch.”
The documents also allege he threatened to take their one-year-old son, Maverick, away from her.
And it gets even worse.
Briana goes on to say Matt is often drunk and that he threatens violence any time he’s inebriated.
She shares a story from April of last year during which he supposedly threatened to “kill everyone in the house” and adds that he talked about suicide last June.
And it gets even worse.
According to Renee, she found exchanges between Grundhoffer and another woman.
She says they were “sexually explicit and disturbing” … and allegedly “involved bestiality and proposals of sex acts with minor children, including the proposal of sex acts with Matthew’s minor child, age 12, from a previous relationship.”
Ummm… YIKES.
Not much more we can say about it than that.
After Renee initially confirmed she was divorcing Grundhoffer, a transgender model came out and labeled the pair’s relationship as the “most dysfunctional ever.”
Does this verify Renee’s claims against her soon-to-be-ex?
No.
But it’s pretty clear these two are not meant for each other, wouldn’t you say?
For now, a judge has awarded Renee full custody of Maverick and has ordered Matt to stay at least 100 yards away from her at all times.

Transgender Model SLAMS Briana Renee, Estranged Husband as Totally Dysfunctional"
As previously detailed, Briana Renee and Matt Grundhoffer are getting a divorce.
News of this split comes as a surprise to exactly no one who has been following the private life of the Little Women: LA star and her mate.
But it’s an especially obvious and welcome development to a transgender model named Plastic Martyr.
(Editor’s Note: We somehow doubt this is her real name.)
In response to Renee confirming she is finally leaving Grundhoffer, following many months of contention as a result of the latter’s admitted infidelity, Martyr slammed the estranged couple when asked to comment by Radar Online.
“If this isn’t all done for most publicity – because they are delusional and attention-hungry – then I say bravo,” the 28-year old said.
She then exclaimed triumphantly:
“The most dysfunctional relationship is over!”
Martyr (pictured below) was actually featured on Little Woman: LA after Grundhoffer was caught sexting her
But whatever feelings Renee’s husband apparently had for the model are most definitely NOT reciprocated.
In this same Radar interview, she refers to Grundhoffer as a “cheating son of a bitch” who “fetishized” her with his disgusting messages.
While it may be clear that Renee and Grundhoffer were not meant to be, their divorce is still unfortunate for one very precious reason:
The stars are parents to a 16-month old son.
They each also have a child from previous relationships that they had been raising together, which explains why the two are actually still living in the same house.
While sleeping in separate bedrooms, Briana and Matt are trying to figure out how to best move ahead with their break-up without damaging these children.
But Martyr doesn’t have any sympathy.
She says Renee “will do anything and step on anyone to get ahead.”
It’s unclear why she has such a harsh opinion of the short Lifetime star, but her connection with Grundhoffer goes back to July of 2016.
During that time, he sent the model naked photos and made sexual advances toward her via Insgtagram.
Shortly afterward, Plastic guest-starred on the reality show and got into a pretty heated argument with Tonya Banks.
It certainly sounds as if Renee and Grundhoffer are making the right decision in going their separate ways, but a friend of the couple doesn’t think the split will last.
This person tells Radar:
“She’ll back with him a week. She can’t stand to be alone.”

Briana Renee to Husband: You Cheated! We"re Over!
This is all she wrote for Briana Renee and her husband.
The Little Women: LA star has reportedly ended her marriage to Matt Grundhoffer because she simply could not get past his cheating ways.
That’s a pretty good reason to file for divorce, isn’t it?
TMZ source say Briana decided to cut the romantic chord due to Grundhoffer’s “constant cheating and flirting,” a lot of which was captured by Lifetime cameras for all to see.
Grundhoffer admitted to his infidelity in the past and the topic was a source of consistent tension between the couple.
Again, for a very understandable reason, wouldn’t you say?
Briana and Matt have a 16-month old son, who the former referenced in an Instagram message that confirmed her split.
“After 3 years, and bringing the most handsome little boy into this world, we have come to the end of our marriage,” the 35-year-old captioned the above photo.
She added:
“We rode til the wheels fell off, and now we can redirect our course as friends focusing on being the best parents.”
Renee and Grundhoffer also have two kids from previous relationships.
As of this writing, they are actually still living together while they try to determine what is best for their family.
But they sleep in separate bedrooms.
In an attempt to fix their relationship, the estranged twosome appeared together on the Little Women couples therapy spin-off Couple Retreat.
Shockingly, though, the televised sessions did not mend what was broken between them.
In an April interview with The Domenick Nati Show, Renee confessed that she and Matt have had a “rocky” marriage over the years.
“Unfortunately we have had major lows, and we try to build back up again and it takes time,” she said at the time, explaining:
“Marriage is always work. I’m not going to sugar coat anything. We have had a rocky [one].”
According to Radar Online, Grundhoffer was caught sexting transgender model Plastix Martyr last year.
He has also admitted to sexting other women when Renee was pregnant.
Ouch. That makes the cheating, whether it was emotional or physical, extra painful.
We wish both halves of this failed romance the best of luck.
We hope each finds happiness in the end.

Renee Oteri SLAMMED for Posting Naked Child "Porn"
Quick PSA?
People are disgusting and deplorable, and when a lady can’t share a picture of an adorable baby (baby!) tush, it’s a sad, sad world indeed.
Renee Oteri, former Bachelor contestant, found herself in the middle of a hornet’s nest of trouble after sharing a photo of her infant son, baby AJ, ying face-down, and not wearing a diaper.
Read? You couldn’t see anything but his two cute little cheeks.
Oteri, after facing huge backlash, pulled the photo down and replaced it with a pic where her son’s modesty was preserved.
She captioned the pic, “So let me vent real quick. Last night, I posted a photo of AJ’s adorable little bum.”
“A baby bum,” Renee continued.
“We have all seen a bum.”
“A cushy, dimply, wrinkly little bum,” she reiterated.
“After reading some disturbing comments referencing ‘child pornography’ and ‘pedophile material,’ I regrettably decided to delete the photo.”
“Super unfortunate, upsetting, and incredibly disappointing,” she blasted.
“I mean, I get it: you cannot please everyone, but child porn? Really? C’mon.”
“If you’ve followed my account for quite some time now, you know photography and creative content is my jam,” Oteri defended.
“I would never, ever post something inappropriate or distasteful, especially of my babies.”
“I hate that most of my photos need a disclaimer, like ‘Car selfie! NOT DRIVING!’ or ‘Best wine ever! PUMPED + DUMPED!"” referencing the the fact that she does, indeed, breastfeed and drink wine. Just not simultaneously.
“Super annoying,” she continued.
“IG trolls will not be welcome here, and comments such as those will not be approved on my page.”
“I choose to share my life with all of you, and I’d like it to be a positive place for people to connect with me, and with each other,” she said.
“Keep the comments light and positive, or simply unfollow,” Oteri concluded.
What a world we live in when we can’t even gush over adorable little baby bodies.
What’s next – we can’t share pictures of puppies arses when they’re too young?
Good grief, what a mess we’ve gotten ourselves, as a society, in lately, right?
If you don’t like what she shares, go away, and don’t be freaking perverts and PC police about it.
End of.

Renee Zellweger: I Didn"t Get Plastic Surgery, OK?
There’s something about Renee Zellwegger that looks different these days, but we might just be seeing things.
That is, according to Renee.
Renee’s face was the object of tabloid fodder back in March. Some noticed that she appeared younger, and automatically assumed that she had work done.
“In my home I’m not aware of it,” Renee said during a March appearance on the Today show.
“I don’t do any kind of social media, so I don’t see it. I like to have – I guess you would call them real experiences.”
The Oscar winner stars in the upcoming third installment in the Bridget Jones’s Diary franchise, Bridget Jones’s Baby.
In an effort to kill two birds with one stone, she’s written a heartfelt essay for Huffington Post about those nasty rumors, while serving as a reminder that the film opens on September 16th.
The essay, titled We Can Do Better, is a complicated read. In fact, one can’t be blamed for re-reading it a few times, mainly because Renee tries very hard to sound as academic as possible.
Still, she gets her message across.
“I am not writing today because I have been publicly bullied or because the value of my work has been questioned by a critic whose ideal physical representation of a fictional character originated 16 years ago, over which he feels ownership, I no longer meet,” Renee wrote, referring to her character from Bridget Jones’s Diary.
“I am not writing in protest to the repellent suggestion that the value of a person and her professional contributions are somehow diminished if she presumably caves to societal pressures about appearance, and must qualify her personal choices in a public court of opinion.
“I’m not writing because I believe it’s an individual’s right to make decisions about his or her body for whatever reason without judgment.
“I’m writing because to be fair to myself, I must make some claim on the truths of my life, and because witnessing the transmutation of tabloid fodder from speculation to truth is deeply troubling.
“The ‘eye surgery’ tabloid story itself did not matter, but it became the catalyst for my inclusion in subsequent legitimate news stories about self-acceptance and women succumbing to social pressure to look and age a certain way.
“In my opinion, that tabloid speculations become the subject of mainstream news reporting does matter.”
If writing this article gave Renee some sort of closure on the whole plastic surgery rumor mill, then good for her. Many, however, won’t buy it for the simple fact that she does look different.

Renee Zellweger Finally Responds to Comments About Her Appearance
We haven"t seen much of Renee Zellweger since she appeared on a red carpet a year and a half ago looking, well, a little different than we remembered.
Everybody lost every last one of their marbles and accused the actress of "getting a new face" via some plastic surgery nightmare come to life.
It couldn"t have been easy for her.
However, her public response at the time remained totally chill. She basically wrote off the allegations and chalked it up to living a good life.
"I"m glad folks think I look different!" Renee said. "I"m living a different, happy, more fulfilling life, and I"m thrilled that perhaps it shows."
Now that she"s promoting her upcoming film Bridget Jones" Baby, she must face the public again, and because humans suck, peeps are more interested in her face than the flick.
During an interview with the Today Show, Renee shares clips from the much-anticipated sequel to Bridget Jones" Diary and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, but host Sheinelle Jones couldn"t resist asking about the brouhaha surrounding the star"s appearance.
"I remember a couple of years ago people were talking about, "Oh, she changed her appearance." Does it bother you, does it get to you or is it just par for the course?" inquired the host.
And once again, Renee kind of side-stepped the issue, probably and understandably annoyed that she has to address it in the first place.
"It"s not really part of my life," she said, referring to the scrutiny. "It"s part of the job, that I don"t really experience except when I step into this arena."
Translation: Yes it gets to me, you f**king jackass, and I"m sick to death of it so could you just STFU about it once and for all?
That"d be our guess.
"In my home I"m not aware of it," she continued. "I don"t do any kind of social media, so I don"t see it. I like to have – I guess you would call them real experiences."
For what it"s worth, Renee is looking a lot like her old self, so it seems everyone went bonkers for nothing.
Oh, and the movie looks really good, too!
